An Amazing Journey​

The monarch butterfly weighs less than a penny, yet makes one of the longest migrations on Earth! You can follow this journey and join hundreds of millions of real butterflies in Flight of the Butterflies.

This film is an interconnected scientific adventure story that spans not only thousands of miles, but generations! It’s about the remarkable monarch butterfly migration and the determined scientist who spent 40 years trying to discover exactly where the butterflies mysteriously disappeared when they flew south for winter. You’ll be captivated by mystery and breathtaking cinematography on the GIANT Screen Theater at the Putnam!
